Only because Vanessa’s drunk right now, it makes it difficult to even be offended by what she’s just said to me.

I guess this is the perfect opportunity for me to find out just how she feels, and keep her distracted from her sorrow.

“You really put up with my shit because of your dad?” I ask, a hint of amusement in my tone.

“And what’s that?” I’m surprised I’m still taking no offense.

“It’s only because of how compassionate you are about the children. That’s the only reason I haven’t labeled you as a complete asshole.”

“What is it?”

“That’s a statement I used to say to myself a lot before I met you. I always wanted to keep my virginity for my husband, the love of my life. That’s why I would always tell myself that it would be the right moment, but I’m stuck with you and you’ll be my first and last.””
